Mine is why does a housefly that is flying around in your car never smack into either a front or back windshield or door window while the car is in motion or stops suddenly?

Does anyone know the answer?  Have another curiosity that needs answering?  Post it here.

Flies are small enough the viscosity of the air is a larger factor for them than us.

Moving an aquarium around doesn't slam the little fishies up against the glass, if you're looking for an analogy.  IOW, air is 'thicker' for flies.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
